THE VISION THING

Are we at the beginning of the turning,
of the yearning for the dream of unity,
of the dawning sun of true justice,
of the rising direct vision of beauty and equality
in each other, in each race, country, religion,
of healing the wounded earth?
Is it coming in the manger, in the compassion
for the poorest, for the children, for the homeless?
Is it coming through forgiveness,
through knowledge applied,
through action that lifts us all on a wave?
Yes, a wave of love for the children
through the millennium
with war denied, with hunger overcome,.
Are we at the beginning of the turning,
of the yearning for the dream of unity?
